ok - that is good to know. i know that the client is supposed to periodically check-in to renew its connection from time to time - i don't know what the interval is, but i do know that lost connections should be periodically regained. we are looking into this a bit more as we really do want things to be as close to 100% available as possible.

I was removing channels from favorites and when I selected more than 18 to remove, I would get "unit is disconnected" message. I continued to select 10-20 channels at a time to remove and it did the job.

Also an update on my previous failed attempt to install on my HDVR2 with the airlink adapter. I swapped out the airlink for the FA120 and it installed the client. Bummer, looks like there are problems with the airlink USB gigabit adapters. Guess I am back to seaching for another FA120.

EDIT: I just swapped out my FA120 with the airlink and tried to connect to gotomydvr.com and got the "unit disconnected". Wondering if the airlink adapter can't connect to a SSL site..hmmm.

EDIT2: I have MAC filtering on, entered the MAC address in the router and it works. Geez, I always forget this simple thing when adding network gear.

I've got two DSR7000's and an HR10-250 up and running. What's up with the 3 tivo limit? That's discriminatory against households with 5 or more tivos, like me. Are you injecting any new TWP modules by chance?

My S1SA Tivo only seems to be able to connect right after I start/restart the gotomydvr process. I've removed the startup script from the author file just so I can have better control of what it's doing. Correct me if I'm wrong but when I kill the process it automatically restarts itself, right?

OK - so looking over some of posts from the past 12 hours, it does seem that there are a good number of folks who are experiencing periodic 'disconnects' once the client has been started. There's not too much data posted, on this, but it looks like when this happens to folks, a ps -aux reveals that dbclient is still running; and in spite of that, you need to run the client again (using the gotomydvr startup command) to restablish a connection.

Can some of you go back and verify that what I just stated is correct or incorrect?

Alternatively, for those of you who experience a disconnect, can you execute a ps -aux when in that state and confirm whether any of the gotomydvr processes are running, and if so, which ones?

You can use post #33 as a reference.

Thx!

It appears that my TIVO's became disconnected after the weekly reboot.

Of the three TIVO's I have setup for this, two performed the weekly reboot and now are disconnected. However, the third TIVO did not do a weekly reboot, ( was in the middle of a recording) and is still connected.

seanc -- this is a situation i have also seen -- clearly, restarting the client is not ideal here, since it appears to already be running and has lost its way if you are receiving 'disconnect' messages. this is the specific situation we've got the developers looking at right now. thx and stay tuned.

This is great. Orenosp didn't work properly Blazer on my 700p (the version on the 650 worked fine) so this comes along at a good time. Thanks for offerring it up, Lou!

I entered both of my DirecTiVos. One on port 80 and the other on 8080.

On both my laptop (using Safari) and my Treo 700p, though, once I log in and select DTiVo #1, I get access to it... but without the top "gotomydvr" frame. So I am unable to switch over to DTiVo #2. How do I switch back and forth between both TiVos, if I can't see that frame?

which usually means I need to restart TWP. Restarted TWP, now the NPL displays properly. It was strange that the error occured on all three.

Not sure if/how that could be related to the gotomydvr stuff, as its really just passing the TiVoWebPlus info through our server. My guess is that whatever the issue was that required a restart happened on all three units because either all three units are collecting the same guide info and/or recorded the same program that had some garbled guide information in it.

With that said, please keep an eye on it - and if you see it again, try seeing if you can get the problem to happen with your gotomydvr session, and also see if it happens with a local session at the same time.

Lastly, can you all please indicate what type of TiVo you have when posting and what method you've used to obtain network access (PTVnet, zipper, etc?)

That's weird. I thought we'd gotten rid of frames in the implementation. I know that there can be some session confusion when running new browser instances without logging off first. I'd try logging off, and then in again, to see if you can select.

We'll have to look into some alternative ways of navigating and I know we want to streamline the interface for folks coming in from mobile devices - (I tried using opera from my blackberry, and it was cool, but clunky).

thx for pointing that out!
